Really the only thing the Parent tag does is allow those 2 agencies(parent and child) to be combined and accessible through the duty selection menu(menu when going on duty at a station), as in the uniforms and vehicles menu. 

 

By using a lspdfr default parent and child agency as example, LSPD as example. LSPD Air Support has LSPD as its parent, allowing their outfits to be chosen in the menu under the same category(same category, as in the parents). Now in order to achieve this relation as you wish, you will have to add the agency name in the dutyselction.xml in lspdfr>data. 

 

Notice this note in the dutyselction file:

 <!-- Child agencies listed here will merge with their parent agencies in the selection; If a child agency is not specified, its
    inventory will not be available for the parent agency. -->

 

See my screenshot below as example, lspd_asu is the child of LSPD, and in the duty selection file under the peds section lspd_asu is specified, meaning it will merge with LSPD outfits, so you shall see the option to choose a pilot outfit in the same menu that you choose the police outfit.  If you was to add the child agency to the vehicles section, you would have the option to choose the specified helicopter of the childs agency(or whatever vehicle is specified).

@TreadRed Thank you 🙂 

 

in the duty selection menu i have my child agencies set, (just like in your first screenshot) how ever i still can not choose them. when you first get LSPD 0.4 this is already done(as is in your screenshot) but when i head to the garage i have LSPD, and then the 4 default cars, no SWAT car (which is the stanier)  or helicopter (the helicopter most likely needs to be added to the "Vehicle Description" which i have already done. I will keep playing around with it but your response really helped so thank you 🙂

The Swat vehicles should be available, you wouldn't notice because that same vehicle is used for the parent agency

If you share your agency and dutyselction file, I can maybe help you out by seeing if there is a mistake.

oohhhhh i didnt know they were the same vehicle i didn't think about that. oh ok i got it now. thank you 

 

i figured i would have notice bc in the lspd_swat the srtanier is a slick top, so i thought i would appear as such in the selection menu in game, but i guess not. 

 

thank you10-4 ill be 10-8

Hey. 

Are you on Fiverr by any chance? If you are, TreadRed and me have spoken to you about ped uniforms. lol

 

If its not you, then someone on there uses your livery photo.

Will double-check, it is identical though...  Maybe just the same livery.

 

Hey,
It may just be because you're both from Canada, and like that livery...?
Was kinda hoping you two were one and the same! lol 😊
